The Toe Truck

If your shoes are too small 
And your tootsies get stuck,
Do not fret, simply call
For the nearest toe truck.

Speak up loud - use your tongue;
Don’t get laced up in knots.
Virtues may be unsung 
But the toe truck has lots.

So if help is your goal,
Toe trucks cannot be beat.
They will comfort your sole 
As they race to de-feet.

*Inspired by a misspelling in a story 
my grandson was writing.
